Unveiling the Next Exoplanet Act, by Heather Goss

Excerpt: ...our August issue is all about exoplanets—what we know and what awaits us over the launch horizon. Who gets the first peek through James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)? In March, the proposals selected for the first observing cycle were announced. Meet the slate of scientists who will be pointing the telescope at other worlds, and read what they hope to learn in “Overture to Exoplanets." ...In “The Forecast for Exoplanets Is Cloudy but Bright,” we learn the immense challenge posed by exoplanet atmospheres, when researchers are still struggling to understand the complex dynamics of clouds on our own planet. ...And in “Exoplanets in the Shadows,” we look at the rogues, the extremes, and a new field being coined as necroplanetology.
